A Leading Natural, Sustainable Pet Brand – Only Natural Pet® – to Open Store in Aspen
Second Flagship Store Joins Boulder Location; Features
Paleo-Inspired, Natural Pet Food, Treats, Supplements, Chews and More
for Dogs and Cats
BOULDER & ASPEN, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–One of the nation’s leading natural pet lifestyle brands, Only Natural
Pet, announced today it is expanding its retail presence in its home
state of Colorado with the official grand opening of its second flagship
store on Dec. 17 in Aspen. This popular skiing and outdoor recreation
community is well-suited for an Only Natural Pet store because the
residents, visitors and pets reflect and enjoy the healthy natural
lifestyle that is core to the brand.
The Boulder, Colo.-based natural pet food brand said it will open the
new 2,000-square-foot Only Natural Pet store on the Cooper Avenue
pedestrian mall in the central retail and entertainment district of
Aspen. Grand opening events will be held Dec. 17 and 18, just in time
for the height of the holiday ski season. The new store will feature a
comprehensive collection of Only Natural Pet products including
holistic, paleo-inspired natural foods featuring wholesome high-protein
recipes that are dehydrated, freeze-dried and air-dried to offer healthy
diets that bring dogs and cats back to their ancestral wolf and wildcat
roots.
The Aspen store will carry a variety of Only Natural Pet products
including pet food, treats, chews, vitamins, supplements and other pet
solutions, as well as additional brands that share its natural brand
philosophy including home-grown Colo.-based brands such as Hoot & Co.
and Down Dog Snacks. The new store will also carry eco-chic gift
products like collars, leashes, clothing and toys.
“We are excited to have a retail space that will introduce Only Natural
Pet to pet parents in the Aspen area and to serve as a convenient retail
option for locals already loyal to the brand,” said Marty Grosjean,
founder and CEO of Only Natural Pet. “Aspen was our top choice for our
second flagship store as the city’s community of passionate pet owners
who seek the natural, wholesome lifestyle for themselves and their pets
is a great fit for the Only Natural Pet brand.”
